Ecuador’s Hincapie red-carded for covering mouth before World Cup exit in Mexico

3 min readUpdated: Jul 1, 2026 09:48 AM IST Ecuador centre-back Piero Hincapie became the first player to be red-carded for covering his mouth in a FIFA World Cup knockout match, moments before his side crashed out of the tournament in a 0-2 defeat to Mexico in the Round of 32 match in Mexico City. When Ecuador’s substitute Kency Paez was booked with a yellow card for a rash swipe in stoppage time, Hincapie was seen having a go at Mexico’s Santiago Gimenez with his mouth covered. After Gimenez appealed to the referee, a VAR decision deemed Hincapie to have violated the newly introduced rule at the World Cup.

Referees rely on what they hear, their assistants and the video assistant referee’s (VAR) inputs, as well as players’ reactions and the context of the incident. During …
